Dying Light is a new first-person action survival horror game and features a game-changing day-night cycle in a vast open world.

During the day in the game, players will find themselves exploring an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. Night time will see the players take on the turn to become the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning’s first light.

Speaking about Dying Light, Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka stated:

“The next-gen technology allows us to create a truly dynamic open world that features a game-changing day-night cycle. Inventive free running mechanics also allow for nearly unrestricted exploration and weapon-crafting to further enhance the action survival experience.”
